This article is undergoing revision as part of Project: Planets, a collaborative effort to improve BattleTechWiki's coverage of planets and systems. If you would like to participate, please visit the project page, where you can add your name to the list of volunteers.

This article has completed Phase 5 of the Overhaul effort.

Bethel
System Information
X:Y Coordinates140.619 : -184.105[e]

The Bethel system was the location of at least one habitable world and as at 3145 was located in the Kathil Operational Area of the Capellan March within the Federated Suns.[1][2]

System Description

The Bethel system is located close to the Andro and Knutdor systems.[3]

The system's third planet is a gas giant.[4]

The inhabited planet in the Bethel system is an open-environment world. It held a secret research facility associated with the NAIS, ostensibly an electronics factory of the TerraDyne Corporation; this facility was the target of a Capellan Confederation raid on 9 April 3029.[5]

System History

The Bethel system was colonized during or shortly after the First Exodus from Terra and was an independent system within the Capellan Zone prior to joining the Capellan Confederation when the Confederation formed.[6]

Planetary History

Jihad

During the Jihad, Bethel was the site of one of the more ignoble Word of Blake defeats; while conducting a heavy raid against Bethel on the 22nd of November 3070, the Blakist raiders miscalled a nuclear strike, bringing the nuclear attack down on their own position and effectively destroying themselves.[37]
